Reasoned's Darren Grimes chats with Conservative MP Andrea Jenkyns about BBC plans to, from August 1st, make the over-75s who are not in receipt of Pension Credit pay for a TV licence.

Andrea describes the plans as “completely ludicrous”, argues the BBC is reneging on their pledge to our pensioners and reads out some comments from concerned constituents who rely on their television set.

There's a real social justice case, Andrea says, for decriminalising non-payment of the BBC's telly tax.

The pair also discuss Brexit, the colleagues who still have not forgiven her for refusing to be loyal to Theresa May, Boris Johnson's plans to slim the nation and Marxist attacks on our values and our history.

Calvin Robinson is a teacher who appeared on Good Morning Britain to argue that influential black figures throughout our history are already part of the curriculum in our schools, he was told he was wrong, he wasn't.

Calvin tells Reasoned's Darren Grimes that the Black Lives Matter Marxist activists are less keen to allow our children to learn from our history and keener on building up a distorted narrative on what Britain is.

Calvin argues that, instead, the UK's children should learn a balanced view of history and how, in a country that enjoys excellent race relations, there is much more than unites us than a historical analysis that seeks to divide us.

Darren Grimes of Reasoned speaks to author, Director of the Good Governance Project and former MP, Douglas Carswell.

Dr David Starkey, TV historian and political commentator, takes Reasoned's Darren Grimes through the scholarship (or lack thereof) behind Black Lives Matter.

Dr Starkey argues, as he did recently for The Critic Magazine, that the political movement behind Black Lives Matter (far removed from the laudable slogan), aims to delegitimate the whole of British history.

As well as allowing the interview to take a personal note whilst discussing cancel culture at his alma mater, Cambridge University, Dr Starkey concludes that, despite all of the current craziness and chaos, he's optimistic for Britain's future.
